Weddings in the South West – Escape the City for Countryside Bliss

A countryside wedding and the help of a dedicated wedding planner may be just the antidote to wedding planning stress, for busy city couples.  Wedding planning company, Snapdragon Weddings, offers London couples the chance to escape the city hustle and bustle, helping them tie the knot at a variety of stunning countryside venues.

The company can assist couples to find their ideal venue in the beautiful surroundings of Somerset and Wiltshire. Getting married in the countryside can provide some fantastic benefits, such as wonderful romantic scenery for the backdrop to photographs, a gorgeous location that guests will enjoy visiting and the chance to escape the city scape.

Brides and grooms can choose from a huge selection of top rated venues for an unforgettable celebration. Kerry Heathcote, Proprietor of Snapdragon Weddings says: “We are lucky to have some of the country’s top wedding venues in this area; they can provide the perfect setting for a romantic wedding. Whether a couple is looking for a formal country house wedding or a more relaxed quintessentially English country style wedding, there is something for everyone!”

An excellent choice for city couples, the gorgeous countryside venues are easily accessible, within just a few hours of London.  Couples can even choose to have exclusive use of their own country house for the duration of a weekend, providing a beautiful place to stay for family and friends.

In addition to providing a venue sourcing service, Snapdragon Weddings offer a variety of other services designed to suit individual couple’s needs at any stage of their wedding planning. A locally based wedding planner can be a huge advantage to couples who live a distance from their venue in ensuring all goes smoothly throughout the planning process and can also help couples feel they are remaining in control of everything, rather than feeling cut off due to the distance.

Hiring a wedding planner is sometimes thought to be a luxury that adds to the already high cost. However, at Snapdragon Weddings the opposite is largely true, as they help couples to make the most of their individual budget.  They have an extensive network of contacts within the industry who offer discounts to their clients, making the budget go even further. Kerry Heathcote says: “I find people often have a few misconceptions about wedding planners – firstly that we’re a luxury only for the rich and famous and secondly that we are only interested if we can plan the whole wedding for clients!” Kerry adds: “ At Snapdragon Weddings, we are always happy to plan the whole wedding or civil partnership but we are equally happy to help with individual tasks, such as finding specific suppliers for a couple.”

It is the company’s mission to be able to provide the prospective bride and groom with exactly what they require. In fact, Snapdragon Weddings can help organize any aspect of wedding planning, from wedding timeline and budget management through to venue decoration and on the day coordination.  They can even help with planning the hen and stag celebrations, for those who don’t want to burden their friends with the task!

With many city professionals already juggling busy professional and personal lives, planning a dream wedding can become a stressful and tiresome endeavour. Choices big and small may become overwhelming, leaving couples stressed and anxious. Kerry Heathcote says: “Planning a wedding can sometimes feel like having a second full time job! On average, a wedding will take over 250 hours to plan and involve more than 20 different suppliers. Kerry goes on to say that: “With many couples already having hectic professional and social lives, there are simply not enough hours in the day to fit it all in; that’s where a we can really help out, we can save a couple both time and money – rather than spending hours researching suitable suppliers, you could be receiving a list of potential suppliers who are reliable, suit your preferences, style and budget, and are of course available on your wedding day.  Getting access to preferential rates as well is the icing on the cake for many couples!”

Snapdragon Weddings understand that each wedding is unique and that when it comes to planning, it is essential to listen to the couples desires for the day. For this reason, the company is dedicated to providing as much or as little involvement in the wedding planning as each couple would like, staying true to their philosophy: “Your day, your way”.

Snapdragon Weddings was founded by Kerry Heathcote. With their passion for weddings and flair for design, coupled with extensive experience in organization and budget management, Snapdragon Weddings pride themselves in providing a highly professional service. By getting to know the couple, listening to them and understanding their aspirations for the day, the company is dedicated to creating a dream wedding for all of their clients.
